This previous weekend, my pal Maureen hosted her forty fourth birthday celebration. We snapped Polaroids and drank Champagne and ate coconut cake, however the funniest a part of the night time was…
My pal Claire and me
…the second her youngsters handed out templates for fortune tellers. Every grownup made one, and we then mingled and instructed one another’s fortunes. (Guys, I’m going to have a fortunate month and get a canine this yr!) It was random and hilarious and positively broke the ice.
I’m the least artful particular person, however! For those who’d prefer to make your individual fortune tellers (possibly for Valentine’s Day?), we put collectively this simple template:
You write fortunes into the eight empty areas and fold it up right into a “cootie catcher.” First, your associate chooses a colour, and you progress the fortune teller forwards and backwards whereas spelling out the quantity. Second, your associate chooses a quantity, and you progress the fortune teller forwards and backwards whereas counting out the quantity. Third, your associate chooses one other quantity, and also you open the paper to disclose their fortune. (Right here’s a Youtube video, if that’s simpler.)
Forms of fortunes:
* Your fortunes can reply a query requested by your associate: “sure,” “no,” “possibly,” “it’s your future,” “most likely not,” “time will inform,” and so on.
* You may write particular fortunes, like “you’ve gotten a secret admirer,” or “you’ll be fortunate at work this month.”
* You may write compliments, like, “you at all times odor nice,” or “you’re the funniest particular person on this room.”
* You may write treats for youths, equivalent to “you may keep up half-hour late tonight,” or “you’ll have a chunk of sweet proper now!!!”
Ideas? Will you make one? What fortunes would you write?
P.S. 5 simple celebration video games for grown-ups, and 21 household board video games which are really enjoyable. And one other humorous fortune sport to play with youngsters.
